I’m rolling down the road - got nowhere to go But I’m still thinking of you I done 16 years Now I’m in the clear Drink away my blues The night times are the worst times When I can’t even dream The only way I can face the day Is when your face is what I see It wasn’t meant to be this way We had ambition to feed But circumstances ruined my chances So now just watch me bleed All the years gone by Something about Einstein The Stars they fly across the sky How did we get this far? KOFR I crossed 5 state lines - 2 day solid drive I’m running on empty My rig is old but she pulls her load And man, she still got her speed All the years gone by Something about Einstein The Stars they fly across the sky How did we get this far?

I saw your ghost - under a streetlight And I saw your ghost – in the rain I saw your ghost – looking lonely Looking for a way – a way back again And I saw your ghost – standing in a station I saw your ghost – waiting for a train The loneliest ghost – in all creation Looking for you – once again This place is old and cold and lonely But it’s got such memories And time and tide can’t touch me – it’s the time and place I want to be Ghost - on the bus home Ghost - on the beach Ghost – with time to be alone Ghost – always out of reach Will yer tell me – where yer goin And where yer bin ? Will yer tell me If you’ll come back again ? I saw your ghost – on the football pitch trying to play And in the pub at the bar And the PC in the morning is always logged on to eBay Watching old american guitars Ghost - come and talk to me Ghost - don’t slip away Ghost - this is the 21st century Plenty of time left to play Ghost – you’re a star in the night Ghost – you’re the moon in the evenin’ Ghost – You make everything alright Ghost – Don’t ever think of leavin’ Ghost – you’re a star in the evenin’ Ghost – you’re the moon in the night Ghost – Don’t ever think of leavin’ Ghost – don’t ever say goodbye Ghost – don’t ever fade Ghost – you’d better stay Ghost – Don’t ever think of leavin’ Ghost – don’t ever say goodbye

Missing her I’m missing her Light passes so slow This is heaven – don’t you know ? She didn’t make it I don’t think I can take it I’m.......... Missing her I’m missing her The earth was too much for her And she raised the temperature Everything tempted her That is what exempted her She was perfect to me Just a little wild you see She had – imagination Mine had it’s limitations If she let me down – I don’t care I need her here – not there Yeh.......... Missing her I’m missing her This is eternity A long time to be lonely I appealed truthfully To the highest authority But they got rules they rely upon It’s the same for everyone A sad story for sure It’s just that it’s the law But I’m missing her I’m missing her Not sure I can take this forever I never was that clever I’m thinking of busting out She might be lonely She might need my company I made mistakes before I can make some more Do you know where I can find the backdoor ? Cos I’m missing her.....................................

When I spent long nights drinking And all the women were smiling And my mind began to sinking Under dark thoughts I was thinking And now I know the devil is deceiving Told me only so much time until I’m dead And told her I was leaving And this is what she said Come back when – you learned how to behave Come back when – your soul has been saved Come back before – you’re lying in your grave Oh – oh come back then She said, go to your whore - Don’t darken my door You didn’t break no law - So stay away some more Go have your fun and think what you have done Your soul is gone no matter how far you run And then the sun sank down The sky so grey and cold Cruel wind circled round Her words biting at my soul Come back when – you’re counted amongst men Come back when – You’re sane again Come back when – you think of your children Oh – oh come back then Sin is such a tragic trap Sometimes there’s no turnin back You can sink so fast If you fall for all that Because the devil made temptation It is his most deadly weapon The dreams that steal your imagination It’s how he ruins every nation Come back when – you’re long forgotten Come back then on your own – And see your children grown Come back when – You’re born again Oh – oh come back then Come back when – you learned how to behave Come back when – your soul has been saved Come back before – you’re lying in your grave Oh – oh come back then

I didn’t shoot no-one in Reno I don’t want to see anyone die I’ll tell you one thing about me you already know I’m just a boring guy I’m a hound dog for your love You’re no angel from above But I’m inconsolable You’re so unobtainable Better off in my dreams Better off in my dreams Better off in my dreams Better off in my dreams And once I thought I saw yer Across the misty skies I’m always looking for yer When I open my eyes And once I thought I saw yer Across a crowded hazy bar I’m always looking for yer Wherever you are And I still prefer fiction There’s a good life in dreams They tell me I should be moving on But I like it ‘round here I didn’t shoot no-one in Reno – I just let him be If I wanna see somebody die – I switch on my TV They got knives and bombs and machine guns They got machetes Yeh – if I wanna see somebody die I turn on my TV Any night Granpa died last week They buried him in the rocks He stood next to me at his funeral And told me the afterlife sucks He said…… you’re better off in your dreams…… better off in your dreams…….. And I was walking in Memphis I’m an Elvis obsessive On a rock and roll chain gang All of my life I’m Better off in my dreams Better off in my dreams I’m Better off in my dreams Better off in my dreams

There’s a place – inside my head Where some treasured thoughts are kept Of things you said And things we did Even though – we were only kids Remember that time we went to Wolves And we decided not to drink And then you told me how the world revolves As you puked into the kitchen sink And then you pushed it down the hole And John Richards scored the goal And you brought me Astral Weeks And changed my life around You’re a ballerina on big feet Whenever I spin those sounds Boring people never confess their dreams But you - ventured into - the slipstream And one last time in the Auld Hoos Why did I wait so long I could listen to your stories All night long I wish you hadn’t gone I could stay with you for days And piss the weeks and months away But time was too much distance – don’t you know And our lives are only footprints - in the snow Dark air is blowing Blue skies are falling As time dims away Faint stars still glowing Old light is crawling Around from day to day New glasses show me ghosts you know But that is why I need them most - as I go Driving home into the dark With a busted heavy heart It’s a - cliché I know But I don’t care – it’s what I want to say you know G, C and D you know But I don’t care – it’s what I want to play you know

Those ghosts they sit around and wait Trapped forever in the land of Super 8 Road dreams sunset flat mountain tops Invade my mind and the film - it never stops That time belongs to them and they keep it so precious The world spin by and back again and time can be so vicious Distant lands and a golden sun - they still belong To you and we can never share the chances are all long gone But I drink to the memory And raise the glass to defy The cruel fate of gravity Wickedness and lies Let’s get high So this is my religion time is locked forever in a light beam parallel ray And lives can glow and fade but never disappear away And memories are like ships that float slowly to horizons And clouds collide in skies that I never flied in So don’t you worry don’t you wait you always got a date with destiny You make no sense with any theory of philosophy you’re tellin’ me I don’t surrender nothing - I keep it locked so safe No highwayman doubts or logic louts can draw me from this place But I drink to the memory And raise the glass to defy The cruel fate of gravity Wickedness and lies Let’s get high

If you see a crowd Go the other way They could all be going down You wanna live another day They all got their raindrop dreams They all fall at once You can only catch a few The rest forever gone Raindrop dreams – fall away Raindrop dreams – run away Raindrop dreams – never stay Me, I got so much to do There’s a world to save Wasted time was all without you All I got coming is a grave And I’m thinkin Where did I go wrong ? I’m still living But I don’t got long Raindrop dreams – fall away Raindrop dreams – run away Raindrop dreams – never stay Raindrop dreams - return another day Do you dream in the next life ? Do you dream of this life ? Do you dream that things turn out right ? Do your dreams get you through the night ? I cross the dream Himalayas On a dream elephant I’m a dream detective looking for yer In every dream incident I soar like a dream albatross There’s a dream world below On every dreamboat I come across I look for your dream shadow Raindrop dreams – fall away Raindrop dreams – run away Raindrop dreams – never stay All of the raindrop dreams Raindrop dreams become rivers of tears Raindrop dreams become rivers of tears Raindrop dreams become rivers of tears If you got a memory If you got a memory Did it happen ?

Fate’s cruel tuition She’s on a mission She’s got a plan That I can’t understand But she don’t give a damn In the arms of catastrophe How did this happen to me ? Lady Luck is a whore She leaves you wanting more But she is the one I can’t afford These are the wrong days These are the wrong days These are the wrong days ....... for love Like crucifixion Gives you time for thinkin The tightening of the rack She’s not coming back And that’s a fact Sinkin low to the killing floor Running straight at a plate glass door I been here so many times before......................................................... These are the wrong days These are the wrong days These are the wrong days ----- for love Now I dream with Morpheus The old ghosts all pity us The cracked memories The faded imagery The sky is empty now The stars too far away The past forgotten And nothing left to say Like a faded film star Loud colours and long cars Life has a dark texture Since I ever met yer But worse since I left yer These are the wrong days These are the wrong days These are the wrong days ....... for love

I’m comin and hell’s comin with me It’s drinking up time In this old saloon You had an ugly world But now it’s over And not a moment too soon He stood on a mountain top In a ghost city of soldiers This time it’s got to stop This time it’s over Burn ‘em all (cocksuckers) Let’s burn ‘em all (motherfuckers) God said to the Devil Let’s just burn them all What makes people do All the things they do ? They can never steal enough And now they just ran out of room They die for fun Burned out like the sun No pride no dignity They’ve even got suicide bombs He stood on a mountain top In a ghost city of soldiers The devil said to Jesus Where’s your mother tonight ? Burn ‘em all (cocksuckers) Let’s burn ‘em all (motherfuckers) God said to the Devil Let’s just burn them all So let your fires burn the night Paint darkness on the morning light Make this place history Like iron stars in the sky Their hearts beat start to pound So they can’t hear nothing else Hear them pray so loud Just to save themselves Listen to the thunder As the lightnin’ strikes They’re going under It’s happening tonight Burn ‘em all (cocksuckers) Let’s burn ‘em all (motherfuckers) God said to the Devil Let’s just burn them all

Ferry my dreams back home I want to be – back in England My world is there alone I’ll be back in spring and Do my travelling in my dreams Nothing else means a thing and I just want to be back home – In England I’ve seen the Golden Gate And I’ve seen the Empire State And I just can’t wait To be on my home plate I’ve seen Point Reyes Laurel Canyon summer days Route 66 to Highway 99 The Nashville Skyline Highway 51 to Highway 14 Cincinatti to New Orleans Woodstock to West Saugerties But there’s one place I want to be....

Walk by a lowdown river In and out of the mist Bad memories this place delivers The chances that I missed Shadows and sad stories Ghost ships and washed up time And I’m like Peter Lorre Contemplating a crime I’m tempted I’m tempted I’m tempted I admit Bullet holes in the mirror Where I shot myself 7 years is over But I’m still stuck in hell I was talkin’ to a pilgrim He taught me to understand No-one can stop us dreamin’ And we got a bust out plan - and I’m tempted I’m tempted I’m tempted I admit I like to think So I exist I like to drink I like it – I like it – I like it – I like it – I like it when I’m pissed I like it I like it I like it I like it I like it I like it I like it like this The Devil spoke to me He said “You like it here You like the women And you like the beer Well there’s a space at my table For a new Demon And I think you are more than able Do you want promotion ? I’m tempted I’m tempted I’m tempted I admit I like to think So I exist I like to drink I like it – I like it – I like it – I like it – I like it when I’m pissed I like it I like it I like it I like it I like it I like it I like it like this

So this is love and don’t forget it It wrecks your life if you let it Everybody’s got an asking price And with you I asked so nice I gave you my life – I told you once I told you twice What is a guy to do? So meet me in Kathmandu I always choose high altitude For such an important rendezvous This is the downside The underside of the landslide Keep your eyes open wide Cos all of the prophets lied But run and hide is our current task Colour my dreams while they last Camouflage just don’t look right And meet me in the morning - Meet me at night Any time of day will do But none of this means I’m in love with you I just moved into a room with a view I always choose high altitude For such an important rendezvous This is the downside The underside of the landslide Keep your eyes open wide Cos all of the prophets lied How did we get marooned Cloured red and blue The compass doesn’t have a clue So send for the superhuman crew Send for the sad-eyed prophets too The magazine husbands who Wanna make their magazine love to you While I’m on top of K2 Wearing my platform shoes I always choose high altitude For such an important rendezvous This is the downside The underside of the landslide Keep your eyes open wide Til all of the tears are all dried Because you know deep down inside That all of the prophets lied

This has got nothing to do with the truth My girl likes baseball and she’s a babe called Ruth I saw her ghost in the mirror of the past But I knew that I’d never see her again – this side of the glass I should never have changed my routine Circumstances caught me at a crime scene I should’ve used petrol – not paraffin The jury’s still out – I heard them laughin’ Never believe what you see in mirrors Everything is on the other side You might even see an ill-spirit Be careful they don’t catch your eye I been feeling lowdown strung out and blue The doctor told me to go away cos he don’t know what to do I got a long time curse and it hurts It just gets – worse and worse and worse and worse Never believe what you see in mirrors Everything is on the other side You might even see an ill-spirit Be careful they don’t catch your eye I’m working as a lawyer - I got an office and a sign I got a business lunch with a client of mine I watch air move while I’m waiting for the wine I got lots to prove but I’m taking my time I got lots to prove but I’m taking my time

Is God ever there when you pray ? So you and I may as well face this day This is no time to run away A frozen heart is gonna turn you grey So stay – why don’t you stay ? Just consider all the facts Time is never turnin’ back This mirror‘s only cracked Not as if the rain is turning black So stay – why don’t you stay ? Let’s fly into the sky a mile and Float in clear moonlight Take it easy for a while and See what life is like when we get high We may as well face the tide This is no time to run and hide Why don’t we stay inside Forget all the tears you cried And stay – why don’t you stay ? Is it down to gravity Pulling us apart Of all the places to send me Don’t send me out of your heart Tears will never dry at night Let’s wait for the morning light I like a cup of tea At about ½ past 3 And stay – why don’t you stay ? Let’s soar into the sky once more And follow angels round Check the score on heaven’s door Until it’s time – to go back down Tonight is the night for bad dreams But nothing is as bad as it seems Why don’t we stay up all night Switch on all the lights And stay – why don’t you stay When you got the devil on your trail He’s gonna make you cry and wail He don’t have any mercy And he wants you to hurt me So stay – why don’t you stay Come back from distant darkness islands By frozen heart street light Where ticking clocks are nearly silent Since all the stars fell from the sky And stay – why don’t you stay I know how fast life goes by They always say time flies So why don’t we share tonight Be like we did it twice Stay – why don’t yer stay Bad beer before you sleep Can make you wake up and weep But bad dreams or reality Will never last eternity So stay – why don’t you stay Old and cold and rainy wind Cuts and seeps beneath the skin Of souls who never ever win Or never even have a friend So stay – why don’t you stay There’s love above a crowded island Away from city lights Where you can hold my hand a while and Every star is in the sky – tonight When the devil in disguise Comes flying out of clear blue skies We know that we are wise We know which lies are lies So stay – why don’t you stay Is this the 7 year itch Life can be such a bitch 7 years of bad luck 7 years to tell me that “love sucks” I know that a stone won’t bleed I know nothing is garaunteed In fact it is my holy creed And that is all I need So stay – why don’t you stay Every stupid step I’ve taken Every second I wasted waiting Every time I’ve been mistaken Every dawn the world awakens So stay – why don’t you stay I stalk the silent cities With humble thoughts alone Dragging ancient bones so weary Over worn out cobble stones Time can provide a strange reward The opening and the closing doors But I can hear the strangest chords A future fate to drift towards I’m on a distant darkness island In cold and clear moonlight Where ticking clocks are nearly silent And every star is in the sky – tonight I got all the time in the world But there’s not enough time in the world You make me so alive But there’s not enough time alive So stay – why don’t you stay The answer - if you look it up Is cancer - that will fuck you up Everything becomes so grey Before it’s ever taken away So stay – why don’t you stay ?

I see a grey angel at night His eyes pierce into mine He marks my life and my time Puts his hand on my shoulder if he hears me lyin And if there are demons in the trees He clears the holy path for me Dead demons are history They better not mess with me Only my faith keeps me sane Only the faithful will remain The devil is on my trail But my belief will never fail He knows the demons’ disguise Checks the light inside my eyes He’s a heavy heaven sent sentry No demons can ever get entry There are times when I fail The flesh can be weak and frail I got a pistol that fires nails Crucified demons mark my trail Only my faith keeps me sane Only the faithful will remain The devil is on my trail But my belief won’t ever fail These days last a lifetime Death comes in the night time

I got a six gun in my hand Are you saved or are you damned ? You don’t understand - Nobody understands But I got the future planned And I got a licence too I proved all I got to prove I’m as sane as him and I’m as sane as you Do you know what a six gun can do ? An angel spoke to me In a dream but unmistakably He said keep your six gun close at hand You never know what the Devil has got planned The Devil’s work is all around There’s demons crawling out of the ground We got to take those demons down We got to take those demons down We got to take those demons down This land was built with the gun And I ain’t scared of no demon We don’t surrender to no-one Not until my gold bullets are all gone Golden bullets in my gun 6 gold bullets for 6 demons I am the chosen one I am the chosen one Six gold bullets in my six gun

Well you won’t hear me comin In the darkness of the night You won’t see nothing Not even a flash of light You might be laughing With a woman on each arm But you must’ve done something Because someone wants you gone Hitman – yes it’s true I could be after you Hitman Let Mr Jones Take care of your bones One minute you’re there Next second you’re gone Maybe a paid for witness Who got it all wrong Maybe a judge who didn’t Do as he was told If you don’t listen You might not grow old I never hit no-one Under 21 But if you haven’t learnt by then You won’t get another lesson I don’t do torture I got my pride I just do quick departure You won’t ever know you died I can work from distance I can work up close I can work in silence Nobody ever knows........... Hitman I don’t advertise Hitman A word to the wise I didn’t make the world And I won’t make heaven But nobody says nothing I avoid suspicion Hitman Let Mr Jones Take care of your bones I’m a hitman – listen to me I got a hundred identities Let Mr Wyatt Keep your enemies quiet Let Mr Johnson Take care of your problems Let Mr Evans Show them into heaven Let Mr Gold Free their souls Let Mr Brown Take them all down Let Mr Jones Take care of your bones Mr Jones

Do you believe in a fate - Everything comes to him who waits Chance will bring you all you need - Ambition is a form of greed The wind that takes the autumn leaves The tides within the silent sea These things decide your destiny But you - are the one - with a childish - obsession The future has’nt happened yet - and there’s a past you can’t forget Do you know where you want to be Do you believe what you can see or do you see what you believe Shovels - in the hands of men Makes a time machine - once again Now it’s dusty - where there was dirt The windy city - beneath the earth So Turkey is out of bounds - Secret agents chase you around They all want what you have found - Stolen secrets from the ground, A jewellery cache and a face from the past Is Helen’s necklace and Hector’s mask Fate displays it’s winning ways at last Now where - can that treasure be - Somewhere in Adolf’s legacy But Sophie looked so fine - an image of the time - (was this?) The face that launched 1000 ships And caused the earth to move for you And you to move the earth for it Archaeology is somethin new Homer laid a trail for you A magic tale of golden days Can seize your mind and change your ways

Little girl put a spell on me Some kinda curse from history Now I can’t sleep and I can’t wake Walk around in a dreamlike state She’s a singularity A turning point of majesty How did all this come to be? It’s been a long century In Hypersleep for light years now All of this dreaming it wears me out But space travel don’t ever do you no good Never turned out like you think it would Poison your mind, it poisons your blood All of my dreams misunderstood But I’ve seen my death and this ain’t it I use my last breath begging for more I die in bed with seven whores Then they lead me to where the devil sits… Six supermodels wait in their Cadillac But they prefer my V8 Pontiac So we ride all night and we don’t look back We don’t even stop for a heart attack In Hypersleep for light years now All of this dreaming it wears me out In Hypersleep for light years now All of this dreaming it’s worn me out

The night is tricky Ghost dreams like rattlesnakes Daylight don’t restrict me They’re still here when I’m awake Memory can be a difficult book All the pictures time has took But I love to take another look I just can’t get enough So leave me intact It was my life give it back I don’t want to forget Nothing that happened yet Please leave them for me They are my property Please leave something for me............ Memories A black star where I fell Is this the depths of hell? Bad JuJu Evil Voodoo Is there a contract I can sign? I need memories to defy all time A conductor stuck on the line I’ll keep it with mine So leave me intact It was my life give it back I don’t want to forget Nothing that happened yet Please don’t take them away Please don’t take them away Please leave something for me............ Memories A lamp post in the tired rain Oh no not memory lane pain again, I don’t want to use it right now But I don’t want to lose it no how

Hey Baby - give me some wine Hey Baby - let’s kill time It was draggin me down – but I’m fighting back I’m on the fast track I just gotta keep moving on I been hit by a speed gun I want to step out of these hurried streets Where the people are talking like parakeets Is this really a capital city? They huddle in corners with their conspiracies Preachers and prostitutes and football teams Fantasy figures in reality dreams I like the privacy of attic heights The lonely star is my leading light I am the saviour of the city I tried the police but they don’t listen to me John McClane is my hero Die Hard five point zero Big business Big heat Big chill Big sleep Gotta keep moving I’m a wanted Man The law can never understand This world is a burned up mess Typically Tarantinoesque I’m crossing North Bridge but I’m heading south I’m watching my back and I’m watching my mouth I’m looking for the dark side of the city And the authorities - are looking for me I gotta keep moving - don’t put me in jail I got a cruise missile on my trail Big business Big heat Big chill Big sleep Gotta keep moving I’m a wanted Man The law can never understand This world is a burned up mess Typically Tarantinoesque I finished my unfinished symphony Sacrificed my legitimacy When copied some lines from a hymn I knew Hey pretty girl I’m talkin to you Hey pretty girl give me some wine Hey pretty girl let’s kill time Hey pretty girl let’s kill time Hey pretty girl let’s kill time Hey pretty girl let’s kill time

I shot every man in Reno But I got bored watching them die Then I shot every woman so They didn’t keep askin me why Well we all need to defend ourselves And this world is full of pricks It’s better to be tried by twelve Than carried by six I kept saying to myself It makes no sense Attack is the best form of defence And I got this right to bear arms Like my ancestors before It never did nobody no harm Gun Laws Gun Laws we don’t need - Gun Laws I got a 45, 22 - 9 millimetre If you’re a criminal – I can’t wait to meet yer I’ll put an end to knife crime You can try and stab my bullets I’m serious this time I got a zero tolerance I keep saying to myself It makes no sense Attack is the best form of defence Did we kill too many ? Well what the fuck are guns for ? And we don’t want any Gun Laws Gun Laws we don’t need - Gun Laws

I’m riding time – Down to Texas Highway white line guiding me – No body will suspect Nothing better stop me tonight – The future is all at stake I can see by starlight – I don’t make no mistakes Deal the cards again No 2 days are the same Can’t go back to yesterday Make the same mistakes again Deal the cards - Roll the dice That’s how to look at life Nothing ventured nothing gained Lost a few - never complained Tried my luck in Tijuana – Had to run across the border Slow in San Diego – Tried San Francisco Didn’t work out – What do I know? Time is now – And now it’s time to go Turn the record over B-sides can be good Always be a chancer You never know your luck Deal the cards - Roll the dice That’s how to look at life (That’s my advice) Nothing ventured nothing gained Lost a few - never complained Desert wind in my window Stars strung on the sky All the thoughts inside my mind now Make me wonder why I’m on the run All that I done That time is gone So sometimes you got to get – mad dog low down mean A cruel guerrilla fighter – fiercest you ever seen Fate don’t fight so fair – So why should you? Fight like you don’t care – In everything you do Roll the dice again No 2 people are the same Can’t take back what you say Regret is all in vain Deal the cards - Roll the dice That’s how to look at life Nothing ventured nothing gained Lost a few - never complained Deal the cards again Give me one more chance to win Give it one more spin Roll the dice again Give it one more try True love don’t die While I’m alive

Apologies It’s down to me But I can see You lost the spirit Well all along I was so wrong It all fits You’ve hit The loving limit These things can happen All too often...............................it’s so sad You’ve reached your loving limit We built this house but now there’s nothing in it Tears in my eyes long since dried......................but I’m still sorry The stars don’t stay They move away With every day It’s a law of physics The universe Is a big hearse Heaven’s curse Is somewhere in it Eternity Is not for me.............................is that so bad ? You’ve reached your loving limit We built this house but now there’s nothing in it Tears in my eyes long since dried......................but I’m still sorry These days I hear the Highway Ghost asking if she’s leaving On the dark roads outside of town his tyres squealing It is night - she is awake - she don’t speak I know she’s still day dreaming If I could turn If I could turn the stars If I could turn the stars around they would be returning Beautiful trick angel Love is contagion I’m only saying Look in your rear view mirror Behind is gone We all move on Run run run run Right now it’s all too clear These memories took a lifetime And it’s all gone in no time You’ve reached your loving limit We built this house but now there’s nothing in it Tears in my eyes long since dried........... ...........but I’m still sorry Everybody’s got – a loving limit

They say it will be fine All in good time But it’s your time but they take it It’ll happen one day That’s what they say They call it advice but but it’s bullshit Because you can’t find love You can’t find love You can’t find love – You got to make it Sometimes it goes like this Hear the love snake hiss The venom that it spits You been hit – You been Snake-bit And if it’s not right You fight and fight and fight Trying too hard is to fake it All this time trying But all along they were lying And now you’re dying – Snake-bit Because you can’t find love You can’t find love You can’t find love – You got to make it Sometimes it goes like this Hear the love snake hiss The venom that it spits You been hit – You been Snake-bit Now you’re fading fast Just thinking of the past How long can you last – when you’re snake-bit Sometimes it goes like this Hear the love snake hiss The venom that it spits You been hit – You been Snake-bit You been hit – You been Snake-bit

The Sidewinder He’s coming down From his higher Piece of ground He don’t make Don’t make no sound Somebody don’t want You around The Sidewinder You can’t move Whichever way you look He’s looking at you Hypnotised By his eyes He sees through Your disguise The Sidewinder He’s gonna bite Then you die But it takes all night You might not see The morning light It’s never gonna be Alright Sidewinder Sidewinder The Sidewinder He’s just like eyes In the night Crazy evil Points of light He can easy Easy hide He just shuts Shuts his eyes The Copperhead He is gay The Black Mamba Is miles away The Rattler sound Is his giveaway But the Sidewinder He just waits The Sidewinder He’s gonna bite No way You can survive You won’t know If you’re dead or alive Through the dark hours Of your last night Sidewinder Sidewinder The Sidewinder He don’t back down He don’t lie Moves to the side And then he strikes Only he Only he knows why He’s so low He can’t see the stars in the sky Well maybe You been bit This is your last night You don’t know yet You gonna wake In a cold sweat Heaven or Hell Is all you get The Sidewinder He’s gonna bite Then you die But it takes all night The Sidewinder Don’t make a sound He’s coming To take you down Sidewinder Sidewinder The Sidewinder I’m the sidewinder You’re in my mind (Ride on out) You’re in my eyes You won’t survive Do you like to be alive? Do you mind dyin’? Don’t ask me why I don’t know I’m the sidewinder Not dead or alive I sleep for weeks In my hide I never been tried

Out here is lonely And it ain’t no fun Texas ranger looking for me With his loaded gun Everybody got somewhere Somewhere to run But I got nowhere I’m not like everyone I’m goin down so slow Nobody wants to know I’m in a tailspin I know I can’t win She told me I was a prick With a mind like King Kong Now I’m long gone but I’m homesick I know she wasn’t wrong I’d pay the Devil’s debt If I only could Some things they won’t forget But I wish they would I gave in to sin Goin down with a foolish grin I’m in a tailspin I know I can’t win Now I curse the automobile And it’s evil wheels The getaway car The Highway Star Took me so far Into the dark Now I got the FBI Looking into my mind But I’m gonna deny Whatever they might find So I got a Kalashnikov And I got a Glock You better not piss me off Or I can stop your clock I’m goin down so slow Nobody wants to know I’m in a tailspin I know I can’t win I’m in a tailspin I gave way to sin I’n a tailspin Goin’ out with a grin

I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I could be suckin’ on my last breath The lord took me for somebody else And I don’t have to be myself The third beast of the fourth seal From the fifth gate appeared to me No man alive ever said I lied Nothing like whisky for my appetite Gunslinger ain’t no life If you want my advice If I knew then what I knew when My 2nd bullet hit his heart again He fell into heaven as I fell into hell Round here the law is a pistol shot And from a standing draw I can hit a padlock But I never told a bragging lie The last time I saw my mother she was hanging high I can’t help it if I’m swift In temper love and shot Even quicker when I’m pissed But even meaner when I’m not A lifetime making up for lost ground In this cheap whore, cheap beer town I like drinkin’ more than a moose pisses All night women and loose kisses Gunslinger ain’t no life If you want any of my advice If I knew then what I knew when My 2nd bullet hit his heart again He fell, he fell into heaven as I fell into hell

I got a six gun pointing at me In fact the bullet’s on it’s way I’m having a bad day – you might say So I’m calling a time out So many things I got to sort out I don’t want to leave you – in any doubt Never saw you smile enough Never heard you laugh enough Never made you happy – for long enough You are an angel of the first degree Never heard you sing too many songs Never knew a time when you were wrong No time with you was ever too long It was always where I wanted to be - honestly Didn’t have to be this way Real life always got in the way Of all the things I wish – I’d remembered to say Now I wish I could turn back time Be there for you all that time Wish I’d turned my back on all of my crimes Funny the way life turns out But it’s late for philosophy now I see your face – as all the lights go out

Your ghost is cooking in the kitchen Your ghost tells me when I got bad breath Your ghost sets the night wind whistlin’ To warn me not to worry bout death Your ghost is never suspicious Your ghost always tells me death is not the end Your ghost is never vicious Your ghost don’t like my new boyfriend So I ain’t scared of the Devil And Jesus is not the answer My hopes are never dis-shevelled I don’t even worry bout cancer He’s my life protector I bless the day I met him He’s my biopic director How could I ever forget him ? How could I ever forget him ? I’m a life defector A death instructor There ain’t no woman luckier I can’t wait to see yer I can’t wait to see yer So – death doesn’t scare me These memories were me I can’t die early Your ghost tells me Saturn is the nicest planet Your ghost never needs to telephone me We have always been telepathic So I can never be lonely He’s my life protector I bless the day I met him He’s my biopic director How could I ever forget him ? How could I ever forget him ? I’m a life defector A death instructor There ain’t no woman luckier I can’t wait to see yer I can’t wait to see yer So – death doesn’t scare me These memories were me I can’t die early

So – let’s go Let’s go and take a look At the memories that we took Along the way - They sit and say It was a snapshot history But it means a lot to me And can’t you see What A cruel God you can be Precious memories You better try to keep And try to share Even if no-one cares Ghost write biography Write a book for them to see Cast in stone So they can never be alone Well let’s go Let’s go and take a look No need to read it in a book We got the real thing – Existing But it will be gone Before too long Gone forever not coming back Under alien attack Nothing ever stays the same Everything has changed But some of us Yes some of us remain I found a picture A picture that we took One day in a seaside town With England still around It was a different world Going where gravity hurled The fate of our behaviour Fruit of our endeavour I watched as my silver fell Into a wishing well But as far as I can tell We’re taking a handcart to hell Cos wishes don’t come true Even if they are legally due You got a contract to the good Printed out and signed in blood And in Montana By some poplar trees I was a dreamer But bad things happened to me I had to run Like some kinda Kenyan I was gone Never to return again On dog highways South and west Looking in my mirror Hoping for the best My guitar friend In pieces by my side Keep rolling to the end No time to cry But my saviours Helped me right along Fixed my guitar And gave me a gun Now we are on the run Now we are whole again In San Francisco Making all new friends Still hanging low But nightmares Can sometimes return Cold sweat wake up scared Live then you can learn Maybe I got to leave this town Cos if I stick around Someone’s going down There’ll be a body count This lover and this unborn child Are baggage I don’t need Head back to Highway 99 Is this the future fate decreed? Let’s talk about love And when it dies Can it be true enough? Or is it built on lies? And can it end? Like an infectious disease When you become immune Or even deceased Is it a fortress That can’t be breached Let’s sing about pain Let’s sing about singing in the rain On and on and on and on and On and on and on and on and We can’t return again To a time before it came But let’s talk about love Let’s talk about extradition She said she’d had enough And left without permission And written on the sky She made a full confession A con-trail goodbye Was her final decision Just one time In SanFranCisCo That time – where did it go? We sank so low Why did God have to make it so Susceptible to earthquakes you know We had to get out of there And run and run and run and run In perpetual motion And this is a one way track There ain’t no turnin back I tried and I tried and I tried so I just did as I like Jumping on a motorbike Jumping barbed wire I tried a U-turn With a rocket engine burn But then I never learn Too dumb to discern Pure hatred from ill-fated I never felt so deflated Something I never anticipated Living in this gated Community Where they look after me But no history To look forward to for you and me
